Teen wanted in La Margie shooting turns self in

The teenager accused of firing random shots into a crowd on La Margie Avenue on Tuesday night, killing one person and wounding another, turned himself in to Baton Rouge police Friday afternoon.

Cpl. Don Coppola Jr., a police spokesman, said Brandon Boyd, 17, 12301 La Margie Ave., did not make a statement to detectives when he turned himself in at the East Baton Rouge Violent Crimes Unit at State Police Headquarters on Independence Boulevard.

Boyd was booked into Parish Prison on counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon, prison records show.

One other person, a 19-year-old man, was shot in the arm, but his injuries were not serious.
